Arabic PDF editor

Edit Arabic text in PDF documents with correct right-to-left rendering, proper character shaping, and ligature support. MendPDF processes the document locally in your browser.

Why Arabic PDF editing is difficult

Arabic script requires right-to-left text direction, contextual letter shaping (initial, medial, final forms), ligatures, and correct handling of mixed Arabic-Latin text. Most PDF editors either reverse the text, break the shaping, or overlay Latin-direction text on top of Arabic content. MendPDF handles Arabic text natively in the PDF content stream.

How MendPDF handles Arabic text

Script detection: The editor detects Arabic characters (U+0600 to U+06FF) automatically and applies RTL direction.

Noto Sans Arabic fonts: Self-hosted Noto Sans Arabic font with bold variant. No external font downloads during editing.

Bidirectional text: Mixed Arabic and English text maintains correct direction for each script within the same line.

In-place editing: Click on Arabic text to edit it. The engine preserves the original position and formatting in the PDF.

Common Arabic PDF editing tasks

Updating Arabic invoice details: amounts, dates, client names, and item descriptions.

Editing Arabic contract clauses and legal terms.

Correcting Arabic text in government forms and official documents.

Modifying bilingual Arabic-English documents with mixed text direction.

Converting Arabic PDF documents to editable Word format.

Local processing for Arabic documents

Arabic business documents often contain sensitive financial or legal information. MendPDF processes these documents entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly engine. The file is never uploaded to any server. This means your Arabic contracts, invoices, and official documents remain on your device throughout the editing process.
